Big Brother reading to Little Brother

I LOVE this video!

This is Christian reading Isaac the book that he bought him on the day he was born. I came around the corner and saw Christian reading it to him and showing him the pictures on each page! I grabbed my camera before he noticed!

Ever wonder why I'm speaking French to Isaac?

I started taking French in the third grade in Louisiana, and the French language and culture is definitely one of my passions.
When I was pregnant with Isaac, I read two books on bilingual babies, and Jacob and I decided that I should try to speak only French to Isaac. It wasn't a decision that we took lightly. I struggled with questions like, "Since Jacob and Christian don't speak French, will this put a divide in our family?" and "Will this make Isaac struggle with English?" These questions still come to mind occasionally, but overall, we decided we'd probably regret it if I didn't at least give it a try.
So, I speak French to Isaac as much as possible. It's definitely good for me because it keeps me learning... you just don't learn things like "drool" and "baby bib" in a textbook!
So, I'm learning a lot, but it's still left to be determined what Isaac thinks of it all... we'll have to see what he says first, "Mommy" or "Maman."
